At 5:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 20, a number of foreign media reported that Kim Kardashian, known as the "world's first generation of Internet celebrities", officially applied for divorce from "Kanye" Kanye West, ending the marriage of the two for nearly 7 years. As soon as the news came out, the most famous Kardashian family in the United States once again entered the field of vision: how the immigrant family that started as a garbage picker rose into the "Kennedy family in the entertainment industry", and how Kim Kardashian's wealth was divided and Kanye's nearly 14 billion yuan family property.
History of Fortune – Robert Kardashian
The man behind O.J. Simpson
Robert Kardashian was the founder and first-generation head of the "Kardashian family", and although he was born in Los Angeles, he came from an immigrant family of pure Armenian ancestry. His grandfather made his footing in the United States by picking up garbage, and Robert's father and mother, both Armenian-American, made a small fortune in the meat processing business.
Growing up in such a low-level and conservative family, Robert changed his fate by studying, and after receiving his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern California in 1966, he received a law degree from the University of San Diego in 1969 and was admitted to the bar. Brother Robert once said that he went to law school to escape the fate of the family's meat processing business.
For a long time, Robert did not qualify as a lawyer, but boldly started a business — in 1973, he and his friends founded the well-known music weekly Radio & Records, which in 1979 dug robert's first pot of gold.
Robert's real rise was his role as lead counsel in the "wife killing" of American football superstar Simpson. And his role in this important case goes far beyond that of a lawyer, arguably Robert and Simpson are "teenage playmates" whose friendship began with USC alumni. Simpson lived at Robert's house during the offseason when simpsons were not famous, and in the '70s they traveled together to Aspen, Mexico and New York.
In 1977, Robert and Simpson met Nicole Brown, an 18-year-old blonde waitress, in a nightclub in Beverly Hills, and their fates were never separated again.
Late at night on June 26, 1994, in a luxury residential area west of Los Angeles, a puppy barked incessantly, attracting the attention of a neighbor.déjà vu. Two bloody bodies were found in front of a house. The woman's death was later confirmed to be Nick Brown, who had divorced Simpson, who became the biggest suspect.
After the major case of the century that shocked the United States, Robert chose to stand by the side of his good brother Simpson, and he became the chief think tank of Simpson's "Dream 9 Lawyer Group" after more than 20 years of separation from the court. In the end, Simpson was acquitted under the "listening" of 140 million Americans.
The case made Robert famous and became the starting point for the rise of the "Kardashian family".
Years later, it was reported that Robert's role in the "wife murder case" was quite complicated, and even related to the murder case. Witnesses have seen Robert Kardashian holding Simpson's clothing bag, which is likely hiding a murder weapon that the police have never found.
The second generation of leaders - Kim Kardashian
Rubbing the "original Internet celebrity" on the Hilton hotspot
If the second-generation head, Kim Kardashian, got any "inheritance" from his father, in addition to wealth, it must be the way to ascend to the throne. Robert made his fortune by his brother Simpson, and King was made rich by his girlfriend, Paris Hilton.
King was born in 1980, her godfather was Simpson, and her childhood was rich but turbulent. At the age of 11, his parents divorced, and his mother married the handsome Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner (many years later, his stepfather Jenner chose to change sex).
In 2003, Robert died of cancer, Kim lost his father's protection, had to seek a new asylum - for a long time, Kim's label was "Paris Hilton's friend", relying on Hilton, Kim in the entertainment industry and fashion circle mixed a face, rubbed a lot of hot spots, but also got a lot of resources.
After Hilton became popular, Gold also became red. The reality show "Simple Life" earned Kim a certain amount of popularity and eyeballs, and then she set foot in Hollywood, but made a bunch of bad movies and bad TV series.
Until 2007, Kim and several sisters became popular because of the reality show "Walking with the Kardashian Sisters", which became the "first generation of Internet celebrities" and the top of the American entertainment industry.
Picking up garbage, meat processing, lawyers and businessmen, the history of three generations of struggle in the ancestors made King understand very early that the entertainment industry is a bowl of youth rice, and the really reliable iron rice bowl is the dollar after realization.
According to US media statistics, before 2006, Kardashian's commercial value and value can be said to be "0", and by 2016, it has soared to $160 million. In 2011, the Kardashian sisters earned more than $65 million a year, more than the three most popular actors in the United States that year: Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and Tom Cruise combined. However, Kim Kardashian's own wealth grew exponentially after her marriage to Kanye West.
Marriage with "Kanye" -
A reality show that uses each other
Most of the couples in the entertainment industry are mom-and-pop shops, and after the love of the whim, what is left is a steady stream of "harvest".
Jin's love growth history is her wealth grabbing history, foreign media have counted Jin's formal relationship with no less than 10 boyfriends, and these more than ten people have contributed to Kim Kardashian's wealth empire. Ray J, who contributed to the fame videotape, Reggie Bush, an NFL star who contributed to the sports circle, Chris Henfres, who created the "Kardashian effect", and of course, the hip-hop king Kanye in the end.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West began a relationship at the end of 2011, became pregnant during cohabitation, gave birth to a baby girl in June 2013, and on May 25, 2014, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were married, and their wedding filming rights were sold for millions of dollars.
The fame and resources of the two people are superimposed, and the mom-and-pop shop is officially opened. In 2014, Kardashian launched her personal mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which earned £1.2 million in just five days, and the reality show Walking with the Kardashian Sisters, which earned her £3.3 million each season. With long-term popular ratings, the Kardashian family renewed their reality TV contracts with entertainment companies in 2015 for up to $100 million. That same year, Kardashian's social networking site fans began to soar, and according to Forbes that year, Kardashian 's revenue was higher than ever, nearly doubling from $28 million in 2014 to $53 million." Subsequently, she created 100% of her own beauty brand KKW, and at the beginning of the main promotion of contour products, after this year's operation, she is involved in fashion, beauty, clothing, electronic applications and so on. According to statistics, KKW's sales in 2019 alone were as high as $1 billion; that year, she also sold 20% of the company's shares to cosmetics giant Coty for about $200 million. Social media sits on 198 million followers and earns $1 million per post.
There is news that the rift in kim and kanye's marriage began when Kanye announced his bid for the president of the United States in 2020, but there are also media reports that the marriage problem between the two began with the new crown pneumonia epidemic in early 2020. "The relationship between Kim and Kanye is very bad." A person familiar with the matter once told The Sun, "In this pandemic, Kim and Kanye are arguing with each other... She was disappointed in Kanye and thought he had not fulfilled his family responsibilities. ”
Now, the two have formally filed their divorce papers, and the four children will be jointly raised by both parties, but the division of property is still pending. According to the Sun, kardashian and Kanye's total wealth is expected to reach a staggering £1.6 billion, or about 14 billion yuan. The divorce of these two people is undoubtedly one of the most expensive divorce cases in the history of the entertainment industry. I believe that everyone's focus on the future of their "mom-and-pop shop" has changed from entertainment "gossip melon" to the "wealth melon" of economic interests after divorce and the allocation of resources in the entertainment industry and fashion circle, of course, as well as the future "gossip melon" of Jin and Kanye.
